Mold remediation in Cumberland Township
Cumberland Township surrounds Gettysburg borough, and its housing is roughly four decades younger. The two places sit next to each other with very different building-age profiles.
Reading the housing data
The median build year is 1983, and only 5.2 percent of housing predates 1940. Ninety percent went up after 1950. Those are the figures the Census supports, and they describe age rather than construction.

What building age does and does not tell you
In general terms, newer housing tends to be tighter, and a tighter house holds more of the moisture its occupants generate unless ventilation removes it. That is a property of building practice over time, not a finding about this township, and the only way to know how a given house behaves is to measure it.
Local detail
With 3,070 housing units, Cumberland has the largest housing stock on this list, more than Gettysburg borough itself, spread across a township rather than a compact centre. Owner occupancy is 76.9 percent.
